Black Swan:



Quite different to Your Highness:

Sounds a bit Kimya Dawson....

You may know Owen Holmes as the bassist for indie pop band Black Kids, but now he’s branching out on his own. Well, not totally on his own. Under the name Gospel Music, Holmes is releasing a five-track EP called Duettes, featuring (uh) duets with Camera Obscura’s Tracyanne Campbell, Vivian Girls’ Cassie Ramone, the Magnetic Fields’ Shirley Simms, Hefner’s Darren Hayman, and French singer-songwriter SoKo. If you like the YouTube video, the EP is available for download here.

New Coldplay

I'm not sold on this yet, but possibly by Christmas I'll be humming along to it. I do quite like the video in parts though.

Download it here or buy it on iTunes

This is like me, in Dublin Airport two days ago! :)

Vampire Weekend

Seeing as they are in part, to blame for my lingering visit to Edinburgh, Scotland, they deserve to be in the blog, again.

Not necessarily the best song to listen to if you haven't heard of Vampire Weekend, but most of their other videos have lots going on, which takes away from the song if you're a newbie. I highly recommend downloading some stuff from iTunes :)

Thanks Bronagh! :)

That is all.
